15. What are the unit cell dimensions? face diagonal is close-packed direction a | a 1 | = | a 2 | = | a 3 |  1 =  2 =  3 = 90°

16. Cubic Close-packed Structure only one cell parameter to be specified | a 1 | = | a 2 | = | a 3 |  1 =  2 =  3 atoms per unit cell? coordination number? lattice points per unit cell? a unit cell with more than one lattice point is a non-primitive cell 12 atoms per lattice point? 4 4 1 CCP structure is often simply called the FCC structure (misleading) lattice type of CCP is called “face-centered cubic” CCP

17. Cubic “Loose-packed” Structure Body-centered cubic (BCC) body diagonal is closest- packed direction a | a 1 | = | a 2 | = | a 3 |  1 =  2 =  3 = 90° atoms per unit cell? coordination number? lattice points per unit cell? 8 atoms per lattice point? 2 2 1 another example of a non-primitive cell no common name that distinguishes lattice type from structure type lattice type of ‘CLP’ is “body-centered cubic”
